Great look and Love the Boots! Hop on your Bike and head up to Toronto for the May 7 Heel/Boot meet (see real life meetings)!
David & Cathy
here's a pic of me in mt crotch high Motorcowboy brand boots and a red leather skirt that I found at a thrift store....... the skirt actually hangs at knee level and I folded it up on itself to show off the boots......I enjoy wearing various types of clothing in the privacy of my home and not in public......due to the fact that I live in the heart of inbred redneck cattle screwing hillbilly country and alternative dressing styles for men are not accepted by the general public....... I would like to attend a heel meet sometime and just be different and do what I want.

A good place to end the night!!
I love this place. This is where I usually like to end up before closing time.
The place is not too big inside, but it works. There is a seating area near the entrance, close to the bar, if you really don't want to be in the crowd near the dance floor. It gets packed on the weekends, and so pickings may be slim. But if you are with a group or so forth, stay close to this spot, plus its close to the bathrooms downstairs.
The bar area is a long space. The end closer to the dance floor can get a little crowded and so that doesn't leave much room for ordering without bumping into people.
I love the dance area since when it gets crowded, its lots of fun, There is a small stage that lots of people go up and dance on. Looks really hot, if you can actually dance, but if not, think again.
I love this place because the music is so diverse. One minute they are playing hip hop and then they could be playing arabic or latin music the next. People are friendly and non pretentious. The bartenders are up to snuff and the drinks are pretty strong. I recommend getting a pitcher or so to share at "last call. " Just drag that shit around with you, and you are all good for a while. Haha, it works for me all the time.

In the week, this unpretentious bar draws an older crowd with its catchy '80s-heavy tunes. On the weekend, there are Latin nights with lots of drag, dancing and hip-swivelling enthusiasm

Hi Dr Shoe, Cathy and I are unfortunately going to have to cancel our attending this year. I now have to attend a conference in San Diego and so we'll both be in Southern California during the heel meet. We were looking forward to reconnecting with everyone especially at the new Bristol location as most of my family are in Cheltenham and this would have been a terrific two purpose trip to SW England. All our best wishes for a successful Meet. Hugs, David & Cathy

We had a great Meet last night (April 9) in Vancouver. The turnout was good, five members were able to make it; iloveboots, hjt101, BootBoy09, Mrs BootBoy09 and Ron Stockings (a new member). The hostesses at Moxie's sure enjoyed the high heels and Boots it was great to receive all their wonderful comments. There were a few members who were unable to make the meet at the last moment, sorry you were unable to join us. We will try and book another meet in the next few months. And my oh my there were some incredible heels and Boots on display last night in Vancouver, having the window seats overlooking Davie Street was a treat!
David
Anyone else? It is tomorrow! I am still debating which pair to wear. I have a pedicure booked in the afternoon, so I should be all cleaned up and shiny!

Hi Vanheels, Members from the Vancouver area get together every so often (about 2 to 3 times a year) for a social get together at a local restaurant/lounge to share in wearing heels publicly (an opportunity if you've wanted to go public but have not had friends to go out with, strength/support in numbers); share experiences; meet members and make new friends. The next meet is April 9th at 7pm at Moxie's in the Sandman Hotel, Davie Street, Vancouver. For those who want to also experience some fun at a club, at 10 pm the Oasis opens up and it is 1/2 block down the street at Thurlow & Davie. Hope you can join us? David

Men sex it up with high heels
It's no longer just women who squeeze into designer footwear – fashion-forward guys find this edgy look really stacks up, I feel taller, fiercer, and it goes with that rock 'n' roll attitude.
By Derick Chetty Fashion Reporter/Toronto Star March 4, 2010
From Toronto to New York to Paris, young men are squeezing their big feet into high heels from the women's shoe department.
It should be noted these are not Bay St. types or Wall St. bankers, or drag queens looking for cheap patent pumps from Payless.
They are fashion fanatics and only the hottest labels in women's footwear will do: Balenciaga, Rodarte and Alexander Wang.
The high heels are not feminine. They are aggressive and edgy in shape and style, typically stacked on sturdy platforms.
Or they are heels with heft, ideal for fashionable men with no interest in full-on cross-dressing. They prefer to rock their streamlined heels with skinny jeans, T-shirts and perhaps a leather jacket. And because they're hard-core fashionistas with personal style, they add their own twists, such as a big hat.
Take Montrealer Cary Tauben, a stylist and fashion editor of Kill magazine, www.dresstokillmagazine.com. Tauben attended the Jeremy Laing presentation at New York fashion week last month in the hipster attire of a grungy rock star – tight black jeans, leather jacket, and knit beanie hat over waist-length black hair. But on his feet, were a pair of European size 41 women's high-heeled boots, a purchase from the fashion mecca of trendiness, Top Shop.
Tauben got hooked on heels a few years ago when he bought a pair from uber-cool New York boutique Opening Ceremony.
"I've never looked back. Now I rarely wear flat shoes, probably only on airplanes," he says.
Sales staff in the women's shoe department didn't flinch when Tauben tried on thigh-high Rodarte boots at the Barney's Warehouse sale earlier that day.
"I think because of my overall style, they don't second-guess me. They can tell I care about fancy shoes.
The last time men wore elevated heels was in the 1970s when hyper masculine rock stars such as Gene Simmons from KISS and glam rocker performers David Bowie and Elton John pranced around both on and off stage in towering platform shoes.
"I feel that blip in the '70s when men are trying high heels is linked to gangster culture, blaxsploition images of the pimp and to rock stars," says Elizabeth Semmelhack, curator of the Bata Shoe Museum and author of Heights of Fashion: A History of the Elevated Shoe.
It's that rock-star attitude that attracted Toronto singer Fritz Helder, lead singer of the band Fritz Helder and The Phantoms, to women's heels.
"I feel taller, fiercer and it goes with that rock 'n' roll attitude," he says. "I can go out and stomp all over."
Citing Prince and Rick James as his inspiration, he says describes the heels as masculine and aggressive.
"It's not so much sexual. It just feels like I'm in command – a strange confidence, almost like a warrior."
Remarkably, it was warriors who first wore heels centuries ago.
Semmelhack says the high heel was a Near East (Turkey and Persia) invention and military men on horse back wore them.
Heels for men then showed up in western dress for the first time in the 1590s — mostly in places like England with some references in Italy.
"I think they adapted it as a sign of masculine prowess and equestrian strength," she says.
While men were the early adopters, upper-class women followed immediately and the high heel became a symbol of status.
By the end of the 17th century, when the heel started to become feminized, men abandoned it until the 1970s.
And now there are small signs that it could be making a resurgence.
Yves Saint Laurent has been pushing a stacked three-inch heel boot for men for a few seasons now.
Canadian shoe designer John Fluevog issued a gleaming platinum men's boot on a heel of the same height last season. It sold out immediately, said a sales associate at the Queen St. W. location.
Rad Hourani, a Canadian designer who shows at New York fashion week, has been sending male and female models down the runway in the same chunky heeled square-toe boot for several seasons. For fall 2010 we saw an open-toe boot, worn with socks.
But it's in the men's shoe department at Barneys in Manhattan where the ultimate high heel for men resides. A sleek towering platform wedge ankle boot – almost 13 centimetres tall – by designer Rick Owens.
Don't be too hasty in saying never-in-a-million years will a guy wear that. So influential is Owens that his skinny-armed and asymmetrical-lapel leather jackets are one of the most copied items in the fashion world today.
Is it possible that after seasons of women's footwear reaching fantastical heights and extraordinary designs, men got heel envy?
"The fashion forward guy can't find extravagant styles – men's footwear is still conservative – this is one way they can really push their look," says Andrea Beechey, a sales associate at Chasse Gardee, a hip Queen St. W. shoe boutique where men frequently buy up larger sizes of the edgy labels of women's shoes from London and New York.
"They squish their toes in. They will suffer the pain, they want it so bad."

Unfortunately the Montreal meet turned out to be just Nick and I (David) out of the eight members who had indicated they were attending. We had a great time, awesome meal at EstAsie and the show at Cabaret Mado was fun! Lots of great comments on our high heel Boots; Nick had OTK Black leather Boots with a 5 inch stiletto heel that he wore over black shiny pants and David wore the Black with red leather trim Jean Gaborit thigh high Boots with 4 inch heel over black suede riding pants. This was the first Montreal Meet and hopefully we have more members join us for the next meet. David

Though only three members made it to the Toronto meet we had a great time. Thank you Carl and Krystal for wearing those incredible Boots and heels (Carl in thigh high Jean Gaborit Boots, David in black leather thigh high Boots with 6 inch heel and 1 inch platform, and Krystal in lace up black leather knee high Boots with 5 inch stiletto heels ; and hitting the town at the Pub then George's Club. This is the second Meet in Toronto since October 2009 (Nov 2/09 and March 5/10), lots of fun and we hope more members will join us next time. David

We actually had nine members show up. Great time. Hope you'll join us next time. David & Cathy

The Seattle High Heel/Boot Meets on Wednesday, Feb 17 and Thursday, Feb 18 at 10pm - at Neighbours on Capitol Hill were wild and awesome! On Thursday night the club manager commented, "I have never seen so many awesome heels and Boots in here"! Thursday night was really cool as it was 80's retro club music night and everyone was dressed and heeling in the moment. Cathy & David
